can't fire up LyX
I tried to install LyX on a PC running windows98, not connected to network. But get the following error message when I try to fire up the LyX: Not enough environment space. I can fire up the Xwin32 manually. The IP add. set in Xwin32 was 127.0.0.1 Thanks

i don't really know what's you problem. mybe it's the pagenumber or
the style of the pagenumber.
\pagenumbering{roman}
before the first page gives I II III and so on.
\pagenumbering{arabic}
before chapter 1.
if you want no pagenumbering on the first page write
\thispagestyle{empty}

why not nice? it's nice while this feature isn't included in the lyx
program :-)

In such cases I put

\def\ae{\"a}
\def\oe{\"o}

in the preamble and use \ue ... in the boxes.
Certainly not nice, but it works.

How to make accentued caracter in \mbox{} math mode
Hello lyx users,
I writing my phd thesis, and i have to make this style of equations
prémisse
__^
x=dfdfdfdfdfhh
so when editing the equation in math mode, lyx doesn't allow me to type
é or \'e in the \mbox{}
if i edit the generated tex file i can had the desired accentued
caracter like
%% LyX 1.1 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\makeatletter
%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
\providecommand{\LyX}{L\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{Y}\kern-.125emX\@}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\[
top^{\mbox{pr\'e misse}}\]
or
\[
top^{\mbox{prémisse}}\]
\end{document}
so the question could be resumed : how to type directly accentued
caracter in math mode
thanks for quick reply... i've got a thesis to write ;-)

OK. I defined my own italian.kmap which simply contains: \kmod ' acute aeiouAEIOU \kmod ` grave aeiouAEIOU And it works just as I wanted when I switch to secondary keymap. Now I just need to dig the manual to find out what the shortcut key to switch between keymaps. Thank you for your help. Ronny
Page-numbering
Hi! My report-class document shows multiple Page 1's as page-numbering for the first pages (e.g. for the abstract-page and the directory-pages). Then with the first page of the chapter 1 starts again with a page 1. Why that? Is there a method to change this?

Re: rtf2latex
I am sorry I had a problem and the original message was: === Hi all I am sorry if this problem is off topic. I am trying to translate several word documents to lyx and I use Star Office to read the word document and then I use rtf2latex2e to produce the tex file from rtf format and finally I import the tex file into lyx and the final result looks pretty nice. The problem that I have is related to the accents. When I use the spellchecker option of lyx (input encoding switch to ispell active) the words with accents are detected as wrongs,instead they have put the accent correctly. Somebody has experience the same behaviour ? Could somebody tell me where the problem is ? I mean, I am not sure if the problem is related with rtf2latex or with the import of lyx. Thanks in advance for your help. ===

The main problem for versions newer than 1.1.0 is that you need a real C++ compiler, meaning that the minimal version is g++ 2.8.1. If you are stuck with gcc 2.7.x, you should get lyx 1.0.4. You should of course have xforms (0.88 at least), tetex, ghostscript, perl5 (to import latex) and some other things I forgot.
